Coal in Old School RuneScape has, in theory, outperformed cryptocurrency Ethereum this year

An edited, popular meme of the "stonks" man, spliced via edit with coal from RuneScape and the Gnome Child.

We're all pretty aware that crypto probably isn't, erm, what you'd call a safe investment for the future. Especially since, as of earlier this year, it's apparently in a "collateral death spiral". Which doesn't sound great.
